44 - 10 final score, apparently.
Plummer got a couple of tries and scored 29 points
Surprised at the lack of footage from any of these games

Apparently, only 4 games being televised (this Sunday) has to do with the costs involved. Read that on one of the official FB feeds.
Thus far, they have also televised fewer women's NPC games than previous years and not any Heartland games. Also, fewer schoolboys games. I guess it has all to do with the Lions tour?
Still, that doesn't explain why these games aren't livestreamed. Most of the Heartland games are.

After recording an opening day win over Manawatu, 71-5, where second-five Harry Plummer plundered 21-points (9C, 1P) from the boot, there was no slip-up in the semi-final against Canterbury. Led by 29-points (2T, 5C, 3P) from Plummer, there was no threat of the occasion getting to the young Auckland side.

Southland under-19 prop Kaydis Hona was suspended from all rugby for four weeks after getting a red card for a dangerous tackle in his team's match against Taranaki on Sunday in the national tournament in Taupo. It meant he missed Southland's win over the Heartland XV on Wednesday and will also miss Saturday's Michael Jones Cup final against Counties Manukau. Meanwhile, Canterbury under-19 player Tom Christie received a one game suspension for striking an Auckland player in the game played on Wednesday.

Auckland openside flanker Sione Talitui was player of the tournament.
